Please show the general steps/method.
Someone else? Please I know the formulas I'm just not sure how to apply them.

The thread is 2.8m. long, the angle from centre is 31 degrees.
Radius of described circle = (sin 31 x 2.8) = 1.442 metres.
(tan 31 x g) = centripetal acceleration of 5.89m/sec^2.
Force = (ma) = 6.7 x 5.89, = 39.463N.
Tangential V = sqrt.(fr/m), = sqrt.(39.463 x 1.442)/6.7 = 2.9m/sec.

Google brought this up on the first link.

Just use the length of the string and the given angle to find the radius of the circle and then just plug and play.
By the way, I found all of this on google, but really you should have known the equations that would be on this test already.
